I stopped reading the article about halfway through, because it didn't seem like anything radically new... but the one comment i'd make is that it's clear a combination of genetics and environmental factors affect intelligence, and frankly both are improving. The article seems to go on about how genes are improving, however the internet is having a pretty significant effect too. A well built house can be renovated from something that looks terrible, to something people will pay loads of money for. A fully functional brain can be renovated too. People can learn how to think, and while there are parts that are quite degenerate, there are a greater number of parts that help people learn.
